Michael A. Phillips departed this life unexpectedly on March 19, 2021. Michael was born September 6, 1957 in Dayton Ohio to Mary & James Phillips. He attended Trotwood Madison High School and was a long-time member of Revival Center Ministry Church. He never let a day go by without mentioning God. He loved going to church and wearing his best suit on Sundays.
Michael was very loving. He admired his family and wanted to be the protector of them all. He loved to dance, listen to music and enjoyed working for the family lawn care business. He enjoyed most, washing the family cars. He would then then take them for a ride. In the families eyes he wasn’t mean; he just meant business!
Michael was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Phillips; brothers, Eric and Kim Phillips; great grandmother, Florence Parker; grandmother, Josephine Trammell; grandfather, Raymond Trammell; uncle, Frank Trammell; sister-in-law, Evelyn Phillips and nephews, D’LaQuan and Tyrone Phillips, Jr.
He leaves to cherish his memories; his wife, Caroletta Phillips; his father, James (Dorothy) Phillips; special aunt, Shirley Trammell “Mother Dear”; his nine children, Venita, Kanika, K’Inda, Jamila, Tamarra, Arnise, Shavonna, Angela, and Kim; his brothers, James, Tyrone (Unice), Andre (Yolanda), Derrick (Tawana), Kayode, Shawn Barnes and brother in law Gerald (Loretta) Harris; his two God children, Jaion “Speed Racer” and Bobby “Fat Nephew”; his 13 grandchildren, Jarrell, Alexandria, Asia, Akilah, Bryson, Jayson, Jadyn, Devyn, De’Unique, Bre’Asia, Kristyn, Aramni, Ky’Rin, Ra’Shonn, Aubré, A’Mari, A’Ja, and Ra’Zaye; his great grandchild, Na’Deja; his special loved ones, Kevin Wright, Roy Carter “Flower Child”, Dawn Walker, Demetrius Hodge, Deborah Early “Dirty Red”, Terrence Minor, Artis Hayes “Butchie” and Berdia Minor “Momma Minor” along with a host of nieces and nephews and many other great people who surrounded him with love daily.
